My sister-in-law in Japan was denied a tourist visa to visit us here in the US. It's especially disappointing because my wife and sister haven't seen each other in over a decade, nor has she ever met our kids. Is there anything we can do at this point?

I'm looking for a cool Kanji/Hanji nickname that I will use to identify my Kendo/Kumdo equipment bags.

After saving for a couple years my family and two others are ready to have our Greece vacation this spring, and now I need some organizational advice. There's great info in previous askme threads on itineraries and what to see, but I am hoping to find a local tour guide who can help us see the sites.

Hypothetically, what would happen if an inventor (one of several) did not sign a patent application?

I found these
two AskMe
threads interesting in a "he said-she said" sort of way and thought others might as well. One is about a person wanting to leave her husband, the other is about a husband whose wife just left him.
I'm in no way implying that I think the events are related, but thought they provided an interesting perspective on how people respond in relationship threads.

For some reason in my
profile, where it is supposed to say "xx MetaFilter users near this user:" I get "no zip found in the db". I found that strange, as I live in a suburb of DC, but shrugged it off as everyone else living in the cooler parts of town. However, when I got bored and looked into it, I'm
26.87 miles from
darksquirrel. Yet
darksquirrel is
29.78 miles from
jenny18 and they show up in each other's zipcode list. Is this a bug, or have I uncovered the fact that my neighborhood has been blackballed by MeFi?

The Iraq Index
is a statistical compilation of economic, public opinion, and security data. An extensive collection by the
Brookings Institue of indicators outlining the security situation, the economy and quality of life, as well as polling and politics data.
(One downside is that it is a pdf file). Also from the same source is a comparable compilation for
Afghanistan
